Migrant Crisis: Lampedusa Island Reaches Full Capacity As Political Right Rally Campaigns

LAMPEDUSA, ITALY - 03: Migrants wait to board the Coast Guard ship "Diciotti" before being transferred to Porto Empedocle from the so-called "Hotspot" operational facility, containing over 1,700 people, on August 3, 2022 in Lampedusa, Italy. The Italian island of Lampedusa reached 500 percent over capacity in migrant reception centres with the recent uptick in sea rescues, with former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, leader of the League party, capitalising on this situation with a visit during election campaigning ahead of snap elections.
